The National Socialists of Verwis is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Militaris Alaric Victorum with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.091 billion Verwisians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merano. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Verwisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,795 trillion Vers a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 438,796 Vers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, tourists call Verwisian beach towns "the fine coastline", the ongoing space elevator construction project has elevated the national debt to all new levels, and short shrift is being given to applications for political asylum from illegal immigrants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Verwis's national animal is the Sparrow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Verwis is ranked 18,082^nd in the world and 14^th in 001 Alpha Prime for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 9,282.32 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
